In the jungle, GK revealed the incredibly expensive purchase she made after achieving overnight fame following her social media success.
She soared to fame during the first Covid-19 lockdown when she started making TikToks about her daily life while studying film at Nottingham Trent University.
Chatting with her jungle pal Reverend Richard Coles she confessed she impulsively bought a Porsche after thinking: ‘I could buy a Porsche and it would not be an issue.’
Richard asked the star: ‘So Grace, did you go from working in Costa to all of a sudden being able to buy a house?’
As she replied: ‘Yeah,’ he continued: ‘So you didn’t go from poor, poor, poor, a little less poor, a bit more money, you went from poor to rich?’.
Grace then explained: ‘Yeah, pretty quick. And I remember being like, “I’m making enough money to buy a new car now”.
‘I remember a Porsche drove past me as I had that thought and remember thinking, “I could buy a Porsche and it would not be an issue.”
‘I went to the centre, I was looking at an old one that was cheaper, but the one that I wanted was next to it and it was so nice.
